How To Know Whether You Have a Shower Leak

A bathtub leak can quickly damage the floors and walls of your Surprise, Az  home. You thus need to regularly inspect your shower and bathtub for signs of damage. Otherwise, your house may sustain extensive flooding that necessitates water damage remediation experts.
Shower pans are particularly problematic. A shower pan leak can manifest itself in many ways. Damage to any of the below areas may be evidence of this type of leak:

  • Above living rooms
  • Above slabs
  • Over the crawlspace


Understanding Shower Pans
The shower pan is a liner between the sub-floor and the tile. It is typically made of plastic. Poorly installed shower pans may leak right away. Pans that are at least 30 years old may cause problems, as well.


Identifying Shower Leaks
A shower or bathtub leak often appears in the drain area first. This should thus be the first place you check during your inspection.
Next, look at the crawlspace. If you notice soggy wood or dripping white stalactites, you may have a leak in the shower pan.
You should also inspect any nearby wood trims or baseboards for possible water stains. Closets backed up to the shower must be checked, as well.
As you inspect the closet, remove any items stored against the wall alongside the shower. Wet carpeting inside the closet is another potential warning sign. Finally, if the shower is on an upper floor, look for water stains on the ceiling below the bathroom.
While the pan is the most difficult part of the shower to replace, it is not the only potential source of leaks. Be sure to check all the components regularly for any signs of excess water.
Of course, identifying a shower or bathtub leak is just part of the process. Once you determine that the leak exists, have a plumber fix the problem right away. Paying for this minor plumbing expense now will save you money on extensive restoration in the long run.

WASHING MACHINE WATER DAMAGE

2/18/2021 (Permalink)

Washing machines are one of the most common sources of water damage in the home, and the damage can be costly, reaching potentially thousands of dollars.

Since each washing machine has multiple ways of causing water damage with multiple components that break down, below are some things that most commonly cause leaks:

  1. Plugged floor drain, before disassembling your washing machine, check that the floor drain is clear of debris like lint that can build up over time. Water on your floor may be the result of a clogged drain and not an issue with the washer itself.
  2. External supply hoses, start a fill cycle on your machine and look for drips around the water supply connection hose. If the hoses themselves seem to be free of corrosion or rust but are still dripping, try replacing the internal washers to create a tighter seal.
  3. Internal hoses, if the supply hoses are not leaking, check the internal hoses that connect the inlet valve to the tub by opening the washer cabinet. Cracked or perforated hoses may be the problem.
  4. Seals, normal wear and tear can cause door boot seals to crack or rip. If your machine is leaking during either the fill or agitation portion of the wash cycle, damaged tub seals could be the cause and will need to be replaced.

If you experience water damage in your home because of a faulty washing machine, call SERVPRO of Sun City/Sun City West/S.E Surprise 623-546-1930.

WATER DAMAGE: THE SCIENCE OF DRYING Water

2/18/2021 (Permalink)

When faced with water damage, we might instinctively reach for towels to dry the wet. We might add fans to aid the process. However, there is actually a science to the drying process. The knowledge of psychrometrics, the dynamics of moist air, is critical to lower the chances of secondary damages. Your IICRC certified and trained technicians at SERVPRO of Sun City/Sun City West/S.E. Surprise, know the steps to take when your business or residence experiences water damage:

  • First, we’ll conduct an inspection to detect what material(s) are wet
  • Next, we’ll measure how much moisture is in those wet components and monitor whether the materials are drying properly.
  • Additionally, we’ll "speed up" the process by using professional drying equipment.  While a wet building can often dry naturally, it might do so unevenly, inadequately or might take too long…all allowing for secondary damages to occur.

SERVPRO of Sun City/Sun City West/ S.E Surprise has the knowledge, advanced equipment, and the technology, DryBook (a proprietary tool that provides real-time documentation, updates on the drying process, and confirms industry drying requirements are met) to ensure that your water damage is mitigated. We’ll make it “Like it never even happened.”

Water damage event while homeowner was out of town!!

4/4/2019 (Permalink)

In the featured photo you can see extensive water damage that left the floor damaged beyond repair, and visible mold present.

SERVPRO of Sun City/Sun City West/Southeast Surprise would like to take the time to give our residents and community members some advice since it is summer and lots of you folks may be traveling out of town. 

One of our Surprise residents was away from their home for a long time. During their vacancy, a water damage event occurred and went unnoticed. When the homeowner returned to their home, they found it in ruins. Ceilings had collapsed on the first floor, as water flowed from an upstairs toilet for what looks like days. The home had so much water damage inside that you could see signs of water flowing down the brick of the home on the outside. What is even worse is that the water  caused damage to the HVAC system and the system shut down. At that point the home became a breading grounds for microbial growth to start forming and it did, as you can see in the picture. Of course once SERVPRO of Sun City/Sun City West/ S.E. Surprise received notice of the water loss and mold damage our production technicians were on site immediately and went to work to restore this Surprise home. 

Our advice to our customers, if you go out of town, please have a trusted friend or family member or even a property manager go check on your property as frequently as possible. It is very important to catch water damages when they happen so your home suffers less damage. 

Prevent Water Damage from Dishwasher Leaks.

4/4/2019 (Permalink)

A leak is inconvenient and even costly if you have to close down during cleanup

Many restaurants in rely on dishwashers to keep things ticking over and ensure a regular supply of clean crockery for their customers. A dishwasher is a handy appliance for any eatery looking to save some time and make things run more smoothly. However, just like any appliance, a dishwasher might break down and cause water damage to your premises. A leak is inconvenient and even costly if you have to close down during cleanup.

SERVPRO recommends all restaurant owners take the following steps to take care of their automatic dishwashers and reduce the risk of water damage from leaks.

Tell Staff Not to over fill 
it is tempting to put lots of crockery and cutlery in the tray to get cleaner in each load. However, instruct your staff not to crowd the rack, as an over-filled dishwasher is much more likely to leak. It is better to do a couple of smaller loads than trying to fit everything into one big load.

Do Regular Maintenance On Doors 
Loose hinges, misaligned door latches, or broken seals, can all cause leaks. Sometimes the problem can be fixed by simply adjusting and tightening a few screws. You could use an epoxy patch kit to remedy minor seal breaks. However, if it is not possible to right the door or seal, it is better to replace it.

Check The Tub And Hose 
The tub and hose can both develop faults over time. Constant use might corrode the tub and make a hole, and aging hoses can become unstable or cease to fit properly. Check all the components of the unit regularly and replace it at the first sign of wear and tear.

Use The Correct Detergent 
Make sure every staff member knows which detergent is best. Always use a dishwashing detergent, and always follow the manufacturer instructions. The incorrect dishwashing detergent or too much of the correct cleaning agent might cause suds or even a blockage.

In the event of a leak, SERVPRO’s IICRC-certified technicians are on hand to help with cleanup. We extract water from your premises and use dehumidifiers and air movers to dry the surrounding area so you can resume business as soon as possible.

Freezing Pipes causes Water Damage during winter storm

4/4/2019 (Permalink)

When pipes freeze in extreme winter weather and then thaw out as temperatures rise, these pipes tend to crack and burst, causing leaking and flooding. 

A home in Sun City without a working furnace, even for a couple of hours can cause serious risks.  Recently SERVPRO was called out to a home that was for sale.  Upon entering the home, the technicians discovered several feet of standing water. Moisture caused extensive damage to the  floors and drywall.  Most of the materials including walls, ceilings, floors, and cabinets removed due to the water damage.

Prevent frozen pipes from damaging your home by keeping your home’s thermostat no lower than 55 degrees Fahrenheit.  If you will be out of the home for a lengthy period, consider shutting off and draining your water system. 

SERVPRO Professionals have the experience, expertise, and the resources to remediate damage caused by winter weather.

If you have damage due to bad weather, Call SERVPRO

How To Know Whether Carpet Must be Replaced Following Water Damage

4/4/2019 (Permalink)

Call SERVPRO of Sun City/Sun City West/ Southeast Surprise following a pipe break to help you take care of the necessary water removal.

How To Know Whether Carpet Must Be Replaced Following Water Damage

Dealing with the water removal, drying and disinfecting, and dehumidification following the devastating effects of water damage from a pipe break in your home can be very upsetting. In addition you need to see that the cause of the water damage is remedied, and undergo repair or replacement of many elements of your home.

How do you decide your carpet can be dried out and re-stretched to live out its normal lifespan? It may possibly be saved, but that depends on the type of water that has saturated it. There are three different categories of water that may affect the decision.

1. Clean Water

If the water comes from a pipe break or leaking water supply line, then likely the carpet could be dried out and saved for re-use. If the carpet itself is heavily soiled or it is left wet for an extended period of time, it can deteriorate further. If resolved early on, the carpet can usually be saved.

2. Gray Water

Gray water comes from an overflowing toilet, or from a malfunctioning dishwasher or washing machine. It may contain urine and other bacterial or virus components but no feces, and can also deteriorate. The decision to keep carpet exposed to Gray Water is a tricky one and may depend on the speed of removal and whether an effective disinfection process can be undergone.

3. Black Water

The worst of the three categories is Black water. It may come as a result of a sewer backup or other situation where feces, microbes or harsh chemicals may be present. It involves careful handling to extract, and careful attention to subsequent disinfection and disposal of contaminated items. It requires replacing your carpets.

Call SERVPRO of Sun City/Sun City West/Southeast Surprise following a pipe break to help you take care of the necessary water removal, cleanup and restoration of your home and belongings. They can help you make the hard decisions about whether replacing your carpet is necessary and help restore a safe and comfortable home for your family

What Wet Drywall Looks Like

11/28/2018 (Permalink)

When Drywall gets wet

Wet walls and insulation will hold moisture for a long time. This means that mold can form inside the wall. If your drywall has started to mold, you will need to replace all or part of it. It may lose its structural integrity, becoming soft and weak. mold begins to grow in 24 to 48 hours. The key to not having your wet drywall mold, is speedy drying. While drywall is pretty sturdy, when it’s exposed to water for too long it can get damaged and will require replacement.

Claims Tips for Water Damage

10/26/2018 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Sun City/Sun City West/SE Surprise understands the insurance companies and how to help guide you through your claim.  Here are some claim tips to assist you with your claims process for water damage.  

Contact Your Insurance Company ASAP 

Keep your policy number at hand and be prepared to provide them with detailed information of damages. 

Take Note Of Everything 

Keep detailed records of everything during the initial call. This includes the name of the agent you’re speaking to, the date of the call, the time, and what was discussed. 

Keeping this information handy will help you if you experience a problem with your claim. 

Document the Damage 

DON’T throw anything out or try to make permanent repairs before the adjuster is able to estimate the damages. Doing this may void coverage. Take photographic evidence of damages, make a detailed list of damaged items, and provide receipts if you have them available. 

Damage Control 

You’ll want to (and your insurance company expects you to) do as much as you can to prevent further damages. These are considered emergency repairs and will not affect your coverage. 

If your house is flooding or if you’re suffering from storm damage, soak up as much of the water as possible, dry out waterlogged items, and board up broken windows. 

Keep receipts for the cost of these emergency repairs, and if you’ve had to relocate, keep receipts for any travel or lodging expenses. 

Dealing with water damage is stressful enough, so we try to make the insurance process as stress-free possible. As a courtesy to our customers, we’ll guide them through the insurance process and help them with their insurance claim. 

SERVPRO of Sun City/Sun City West/SE Surprise is always here to help.  Give us a call at 623-546-1930 for all your residential or commercial water damage needs.

Leaking water heater Surprise, AZ

4/19/2017 (Permalink)

Leaking water heater

Unnoticed leak.  When a leak develops, the water might not come rushing out. Most of the time it is a slow leak that may go unnoticed for a few days even weeks. If the water heater is located on the second floor the damage will be more extensive since the water always flows downhill. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to minimize the risk of a water heater causing damage to your home or business. 

Regular inspect. It is a good idea to flush your water heater twice a year to eliminate sediment build up. Putting in a inexpensive drip pan below the water heater that drains to the outside of the property can prevent thousands of dollars in water damages in many cases. Age is a big factor. Many water heater manufactures estimate the life span of a water heater to be 8-12 years. What to look for.

Water doesn't get as hot as usual

hot water heater makes cracklings and popping noises when it's heating

There is a metallic taste in your hot water.

Rust is forming on the outside bottom of your water heater.

A puddle is forming under your water heater.

The burner units have become clogged or rusty.
